They will play Italy's Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo, with the winner going to the gold medal match.

Cuba's Nivaldo Diaz and Sergio Gonzalez led 13-10 in the third set — two points from victory. The Russians won the next four points and finally clinched it on their fourth match point with a serve the tipped the netcord and fell onto the Cuban side.

Krasilnikov threw his hat into the stands and fell to the sand. Semenov also collapsed, while the Cubans doubled over in shock.

Cuba was the surprise of the men's bracket, advancing through pool play with a perfect record, including a victory over a fourth-seeded Brazilian team. The Copacabana crowd seemed to adopt them, chanting "Cu-ba!" and cheering them as they rallied to win the second set.

The Cuban team had played in only one major international competition before and took an unusual path to the Olympics through a regional qualifier.

Italy's Paolo Nicolai and Daniele Lupo have beaten one of Russia's two men's beach volleyball quarterfinalists and moved one win away from an Olympic medal.

The Italians won 21-18, 20-22, 15-11 on Monday night, playing an hour or so after a downpour drenched the Copacabana venue. After the winning point hit the wet sand, Nicolai doubled over, his head in his hands, and his partner gave him a hug, trying to lift him.

Russians Dmitri Barsouk and Nikita Liamin were the No. 23 seed in the tournament. Another Russian team, Viacheslav Krasilnikov and Konstantin Semenov, were to play Cuba later Monday night.

Dubbed the "world select" team, Qatar is advancing in men's handball.

The gas-rich Middle Eastern nation of Qatar fields a squad composed almost entirely of foreign-born players from around the globe, provoking controversy among opponents.

Despite second place at last year's world championships, they left it late to qualify for the Olympic quarterfinals, needing a 22-18 win over Argentina on Monday night to make it through.

Qatar's reward for qualifying is a tough game against reigning European champion Germany on Wednesday.

The women's quarterfinals are Tuesday, with hosts Brazil playing 2015 world silver medalist the Netherlands, while reigning Olympic and world champion Norway meets Sweden in an all-Scandinavian clash.

It took a dramatic dive by Shaunae Miller of Bahamas at the finish line to win the women's 400-meter final, preventing American Allyson Felix from capturing a record fifth Olympic gold medal.

Miller clocked 49.44 seconds, running in lane 7, to narrowly hold off Felix, who finished in 49.51. Shericka Jackson of Jamaica won the bronze in 49.85.

Felix won the 400 at the world championships last year and was planning to run the 200- and 400-meter double in Rio, but was hampered by an ankle injury at the U.S. trials and didn't make the team for the 200. She won the 200 in London four years ago.

Felix now has seven Olympic medals, including three silvers. She could still run both the 4x100 and the 4x400 relays in Rio.

The 30-year-old American entered the games as one of six women with four Olympic gold medals in track and field.

Middle distance runner David Rudisha won gold — but didn't get a world record this time.

The Kenyan won his second Olympic title in a row on Monday by swerving into the lead just after halfway and using his long strides to kick for home.

The only one to keep close was Taoufik Makhloufi, the 1,500 gold medalist at the London Games four years ago.

Between the two middle distance champions, Rudisha never gave the Algerian a chance and won in 1 minute, 42.15 seconds, over a second of the time he set at the Olympics four years ago.

Makhloufi ran an Algerian record of 1:42.61 and Clayton Murphy of the United States set a personal best of 1:42.93 for bronze.

Usain Bolt received his latest gold and Justin Gatlin picked up his latest silver — this time, without any fuss.

A night after Bolt won his third Olympic title at 100 meters, beating Gatlin, the medalists returned to the Rio Games track for the ceremony.

Gatlin smiled widely as his name was announced Monday, then blew a kiss to polite applause. No sign of the full-throated booing that accompanied his introduction before Sunday's sprint.

Gatlin has become a polarizing figure in the sport after serving two doping bans.

A year ago at the world championships in Beijing, Gatlin also finished second to Bolt in the 100.

When the American stood on the podium there, he pointed a finger and shouted at someone in the stands who was bothering his mother.

Rain that caused a 25-minute disruption to the Olympic track and field program has caused havoc on the 110-meter hurdles and the discus preliminaries.

In the hurdles, the first four in each of the five heats automatically advance to the semifinals, along with the next four fastest times.

Organizers announced that the eight hurdlers who didn't qualify automatically from the two rain-affected heats before the rain delay would get another chance in a special race at the end of Monday night's schedule to push for a qualifying time.

The discus throwers were having difficulty in the slippery conditions, with nine of the 17 competitors fouling on their first attempt, and six on the second.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Relatives of Jesse Owens and America's 17 other black athletes from the 1936 Olympics were welcomed to the White House on Thursday by President Barack Obama for the acknowledgement they didn't receive along with their white counterparts 80 years ago.

Along with the relatives of the 1936 African-American Olympians, gloved-fist protesters Tommie Smith and John Carlos and members of the 2016 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams met the president and first lady Michelle Obama. Obama congratulated the Rio athletes, thanked Smith and Carlos for waking up Americans in 1968 and praised 1936 Olympians who made a statement in front of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.

TOKYO (AP) — An expert panel set up by Tokyo's newly elected governor says the price tag of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics could exceed $30 billion unless drastic cost-cutting measures are taken. That's more than a four-fold increase from the initial estimate at the time Tokyo was awarded the games in 2013.
